Recently i have been wondering what the hell to do.
I have got a few things running such as a domain, a server and some hosting. But i gotten to the point where i cant pay for it anymore.

Since i am under 18, i dont know what to do.
Can i sign up for adsense, and still get paid?
I would ask my parents, but they think it is stupid.

If i cant do adsense, does anyone have some personal experience with some other advertising sites?

I will appreciate any kind of suggestions.

It's doubtful you'll be able to get any sort of advertising on your site being under 18.
Though, depending on what you're doing, have you ever considered maybe switching to a cheaper host? Or if you're just doing like webpages/forums, free hosting?

I guess cheaper hosting could do it.
But must cheap host have got some bad quality.

My best idea was ads.

I don't know how cheap is cheap, but I thought my host was pretty cheap and it's fab. Adsense, eh. It does require people to click them to actually gain something.

Use x10hosting. You can have it as a free host, and it's not like other free hosts at all. I use it, and it's awesome compared to other hosts I've tried

And there's no ads either...

Agreed.
I have a few services though x10, but their free hosting is an absolute orgasm on a stick if all you're looking for is website hosting. (And their paid plans are the top of their class if you're looking for something more)
Unmetered disk space, unmetered bandwidth, CPanel, not sure on the other details, as I've been grandfathered into thier old free hosting plan, but it's nothing short of amazing.
What you get for what you (don't) pay for, is worth every penny you (don't) spend.

Thank you for all the feedback!

.. But do you guys know any way to get a small income to help pay the server? It seems impossible via adsense..

I have a friend who uses adsense and gets paid.....

I'd post a link, but that's not allowed :(

Anyways, he gets paid, I think by PayPal. I'll ask him tomorrow...
I'll update this then.

OK, so it seems that my friend uses his dad's name and credit card. I'm afraid you'll have to ask your dad to use his name :/

Aren't the rules different in Denmark? Just wondering.

They might be different.
But i took the chance and signed up, i'll see how it goes.
But the trouble with adsense, more and more people do not click the ads.
